Sgt Colette Todd said: "Officers attended the address with experts from Kent Fire and Rescue Service who carried out a test, and established the sausages contained peroxide and weed killer, which is harmful if swallowed.

"The dogs are OK after receiving medical attention however inquiries are ongoing to locate the person responsible."
